Describe a decision you made in the past that helped you learn or grow.
I didn’t like the life I was living for a long time. I spent many years in self-pity because of the experiences I had gone through. For a long time, I thought I had no other choice.
One day I was taking a friend to the doctor and the receptionist had a plague on her wall that said,
“If you don’t like something change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. But whatever you choose to do, don’t complain about it.”
So often we sit around, thinking about how unhappy we are about our lives. Without putting any effort into changing it. We blame our circumstances or make excuses for why we can’t change. The only person capable of changing your life is you.
That wall plague changed my life. I made a serious decision that day. To not be okay with feeling the victim in my life. I chose to change my perspective on life. It was a decision that made all the difference in the world.
